Vampire: The Masquerade – Eternal Whispers is a combat-free CRPG inspired by Disco Elysium

Publisher Kwalee has revealed Vampire: The Masquerade – Eternal Whispers, a narrative-driven CRPG set in a dark-modern Montreal rife with political intrigue, buried secrets, and personal horror. It's a very different beast from Bloodlines 2 — and that's probably the point.

The game draws heavily from Disco Elysium: there are no traditional combat encounters at all. Violence and ruthlessness are still on the table, but they play out through choices and actions rather than fight mechanics. If you're expecting a vampire action-RPG, look elsewhere — this is a dialogue-and-consequence machine.

That framing makes sense given where the IP stands. Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 landed as a considerable disappointment after a troubled development, and Eternal Whispers looks like a deliberate pivot toward slower, story-first design. Kwalee is an unusual publisher pick — the company is better known for mobile titles — but the game's ambitions seem squarely aimed at the PC RPG crowd.

No release date or platform details have been announced yet.
